a transmission and a transaxle are in essence the same thing. A transaxle is the type of transmission that goes in a FWD car because it doesn't use the long bellhousing a RWD car uses for the driveshaft. A transaxle is more "square" in shape whereas a transmission is more like a bell shape (hence bellhousing)

Is this the wire harness everyone is talking about?

Man just looking at that wiring harness makes me wanna shoot myself trying to hook something like that up haha. although with a diagram it shouldn't be that hard but man pulling those things OUT of a car is a real PITA
Oh and to answer you're question that does look like what you would need. Although I'm pretty sure the auto one will work, just make sure you protect anything that isn't being used and don't just let it limp around in the car. The manual harness will just have less circuits because a manual transmission only has a couple of electrical components whereas an auto has quite a few.

^ yeah that to. I'm not an expert on the subject but honestly the auto harness should be more than ok..just wrap up any loose connections with electrical tape and put them somewhere where they won't arc/spark and not just flop around and you should be good!
